Decretals are collections of papal statements regarding canon law, or the ecclesiastical law of the Catholic Church. In 1230, Pope Gregory commissioned the Dominican friar Raymond of Pennafort to compile a new collection that would gather together and streamline earlier decretals. Gregory's Decretals supplanted the earlier ones and became the basis for all subsequent canon law. | Parchment | Latin | France (southern) | Rotunda | Gregory IX | Author | front | 1 | Lewis E M 7:01 | front | cd 5091 2111 7972 | 48-bit color | 600 ppi | 1 | Decretals | |||

St. Elizabeth was revered for her piety and charitable acts. After the death of her husband, the German landgrave Ludwig IV of Thuringia (d. 1227), St. Elizabeth renounced her worldly wealth and devoted herself to the care of the poor and sick. She is shown here holding a purse from which she has taken several coins to give away.

The document records a payment made to the artist in 1497 for 23 miniatures, 271 borders, and 1,500 line endings. An inscription on the reverse, believed to be by the hand of Anne of Brittany, tells us that a woman gave this manuscript as a gift to an unknown recipient. | Parchment | Latin | Tours, France | Bastarda | Jean Poyer | Artist | cutting a (front) | 1 | Lewis E M 11:15A | cutting a (front) | cd 5091 2111 7204 | 48-bit color | 600 ppi | 1 | Book of Hours | |||

| Lewis E M 11:23 | Lewis E M 11.23 front | mcai110231 | 1500 | 1599 | 107 x 159 mm | St. Jerome or St. Mark the Evangelist | This miniature is from an undetermined part of a book of hours and was painted by a follower of Jean Bourdichon, an illuminator who worked mainly in Tours. Since both Sts. Mark and Jerome have the attributes of a book and a lion, and there is no text visible on the reverse, it is difficult to determine who the saint is with certainty. Mark is usually not shown with two books, as if copying one from another, since the Gospels were divinely inspired. The two books would make sense if it were Jerome, who translated in theory from one book to another. The inscription above Jerome is RECE DICTE VU..., could allude to the Vulgate if 'rec'' is read as 'recte'. Jerome, however, is usually shown in cardinal's dress. | Parchment | Latin | France | Jean Bourdichon, follower of | Artist | front | 1 | Lewis E M 11:23 | front | cd 5091 2111 7207 | 48-bit color | 600 ppi | 1 | Book of Hours | ||||

Certain elements in the execution of the initial suggest, however, that the artist was not Flemish but perhaps Spanish or Portuguese. Spain and Flanders had close political and economic ties in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. These ties also extended to the arts. Iberian illuminators were heavily influenced by Flemish artists, many of whom worked under the commission of members of the Spanish and Portuguese aristocracy. | Parchment | Latin | Spain or Portugal | Rotunda | front | 1 | Lewis E M 16:30 | front | cd 5091 2111 7695 | 48-bit color | 600 ppi | 1 | Antiphonary | |||||

Although the Rotunda script might suggest an Italian origin, the style of the decoration indicates that it was made in Eastern Europe. The use of the Italian script in this context can be explained by the region's political and economic ties with Italy under the rule of the Habsburgs that led to artistic and cultural exchanges between the two regions. | Parchment | Latin | Bohemia? | Rotunda | front | 1 | Lewis E M 16:31 | front | cd 5091 2111 7696 | 48-bit color | 600 ppi | 1 | Choir book | |||||

Psalm 97, the beginning of one of the ten major divisions of the Psalms, is typically illustrated with a scene of a choir of monks. Here, however, the illuminator has chosen to emphasize the reason why the world needed to be saved. According to Christian belief, Adam and Eve committed the 'original sin' by consuming the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. For this, they were expelled from Paradise, leaving their descendents to find the way back through the mercy of the Lord praised in Psalm 97. | Parchment | Latin | Germany (southern) | Gothic bookhand | front | 1 | Lewis E M 17:01 | front | cd 5091 2111 7701 | 48-bit color | 600 ppi | 1 | Psalter | |||||

In this miniature, he wears the Crown of Thorns and holds the scourge and switches used against him during the beating he received under Pilate's orders, also known as the Flagellation. These devices and the blood covering his body were intended to evoke a sense of penitent compassion in the viewer. The inscription, written above the miniature and probably added later, reads 'O qui amara erat passio tua Deus. Laus sit tibi pro morte tua. Amen' (Oh Lord, how bitter was your Passion.

Yet, its incomplete state allows us to see the steps of illumination midway through the process. After a leaf was ruled to determine the number of lines of text and decoration, the scribe wrote in the text leaving the areas of decoration blank. The leaf was then handed over to an illuminator who would first draw in the outlines of the decoration with a stylus or a lead stick, similar to a pencil. Then, the gold leaf was added before the decoration was painted in with various colors. For an unknown reason, our illuminator abandoned his work after adding the gold leaf, leaving the underdrawing exposed.This miniature marks the beginning of Terce of the Hours of the Cross. | This cutting has been dated to ca. 1440. | Parchment | Latin | France | Gothic bookhand | front | 1 | Lewis E M 18:04 | front | cd 5091 2111 9070 | 48-bit color | 600 ppi | 1 | Book of Hours | |||||

According to her legend, Cecilia was forced to marry. At her wedding, she heard in her heart a hymn of love for Christ, her true spouse, instead of the profane music of the ceremony. This account led to her association with music. She is often shown playing the organ, as she is in this initial. | Parchment | Latin | Netherlands | front | 1 | Lewis E M 18:11 | front | cd 5091 2111 9051 | 48-bit color | 600 ppi | 1 | Antiphonary | ||||||

The twisting forms of the initial recall early Celtic interlace patterns. Although ultimately of non-Christian origin, Celtic design traditions were spread by Irish monks who, as early as the sixth century, traveled throughout the continent as missionaries. The monks established monasteries and provided them with manuscripts from which to copy the necessary texts for carrying out the spiritual work of religious life. In this way, the style of Celtic illumination was spread throughout Europe, creating a lasting impact on European medieval aesthetics. | Initial S | Parchment | Latin | Italy | Rotunda | front | 1 | Lewis E M 24:06 | front | cd 5091 2111 7796 | 48-bit color | 600 ppi | 1 | Choir book | |||||

The youthful features of this saint suggest that this is St. John the Evangelist, who, like other the other apostles, is normally depicted in bare feet. Closer inspection of saint's feet bears out this identification: the orange stockings covering the saint's feet are a later addition. His feet can be seen through the thinly applied orange paint.

Representations of the Trinity could vary from those that present God as the father, the Holy Spirit as a dove, and Christ as the man Jesus, to images such as this one that present a more nuanced interpretation of this difficult concept. Here, the artist presents the Trinity as a man with three identical faces merged into one head, an image that emphasizes the unity glorified in this Introit. Niccolò di ser Sozzo Tegliacci is a Sienese painter and an illuminator.

Psalm 38 was read every day at Matins on Tuesdays.

St. Stephen's relics were brought from Constantinople to Rome by Pope Pelagius II (578-590) during the construction of the church of San Lorenzo fuori le Mura (St. Laurence outside the Walls) , which still stands today in Rome. On his orders, the relics of the first Christian martyr were interred with the remains of St. Lawrence, whose grave is enshrined within the church. This cutting and Lewis E M 25:8 are from a codex known as the Laudario of the Compagnia di Sant'Agnese. The codex survives only in fragments now dispersed among European and American libraries and museums. A laudario contains hymns in the vernacular language to be sung by members of a lay religious community, in this case the community known as the Compagnia di Sant'Agnese of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence.

In the narrative of Christ's Passion, the lamentation over Christ's dead body follows his deposition from the Cross. The Virgin is joined in her sorrow by other witnesses to the Crucifixion; in this initial John the Evangelist, Mary Magdalene, Joseph of Arimathea, and Nicodemus accompany her. Lamentation scenes such as this one formed the basis for the popular late medieval devotional image known as the Pietà , in which the Virgin mourns alone as she cradles Christ's body. Attavante degli Attavanti (b. 1452-1520/25) was one of Florence's most sought after illuminators of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Among his many patrons, were Federigo da Montefeltro, the Duke of Urbino (14778), and Matthias Corvinus, King of Hungary (1458-1490). | Parchment | Latin | Florence, Italy | Rotunda | Attavante degli Attavanti | Artist | front | 1 | Lewis E M 25:09 | front | cd 5091 2111 6744 | 48-bit color | 600 ppi | 1 | Missal | |||

(Right reason is on the good man's lips) in a gradual. The iconography supports this identification. St. Anthony Abbot and St. Paul the Hermit belong to a group of third- and fourth-century saints known as the Desert Fathers. The Desert Fathers were men who fled to the Egyptian desert to escape persecution and to lead a life of solitude and contemplation. In the medieval west, Sts. Anthony and Paul were considered to be the founders of Christian monasticism. The illumination of this initial has been attributed to the Master of the Dominican Effigies, an anonymous artist active in Florence in the second quarter of the fourteenth century. | Parchment | Latin | Italy | Rotunda | front | 1 | Lewis E M 25:17 | front | cd 5091 2111 6746 | 48-bit color | 600 ppi | 1 | Gradual | |||||

The stones on his forehead and shoulders refer to his martyrdom. The Acts of the Apostles relate that he was stoned to death while preaching the Word of Christ (Acts 7:58). This initial has been attributed to the Venetian illuminator Cristoforo Cortese, active from ca. 1399 to before 1445, when a document refers to him as already dead.

(Let thy priests go clad in the vesture of innocence), although there is not enough textual evidence to confirm this. The scene represented in the initial is the investiture of a new priest with the stole and chasuble (the vestments a priest wears during Mass), an event that occurs during the ordination of new priests. Although the execution of the scene in the initial is somewhat awkward, it shows the new priest bowing before the bishop in order to receive the vestments. The third figure, a priest, assists the bishop in pulling the vestments over the head of the new priest. | Parchment | Latin | Italy | Rotunda | front | 1 | Lewis E M 25:19 | front | cd 5091 2111 6746 | 48-bit color | 600 ppi | 1 | Gradual | |||||

Active in Florence throughout the second quarter of the fourteenth century, the Master of the Dominican Effigies collaborated with and appears to have inherited commissions from Pacino da Buonaguida, who illuminated two cuttings in the Free Library's collection (Lewis E M 25:7a and 8).

Tiborian collected and organized the existing body of classical and current law into a coherent collection of legal doctrine. Book 37 of the Digest discusses legal rights concerning inherited property. Although the Roman Empire had failed in the West, its customs and laws were maintained to a certain degree in Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire. In the twelfth century, Justinian's Corpus passed into the Christian West where it became the foundation for European civil law. | Parchment | Latin | Bologna, Italy | Littera bononiensis | Justinian (Emperor, r. 527-565 A.D.) | Author | front | 1 | Lewis E M 26:01 | front | cd 5091 2111 7224 | 48-bit color | 600 ppi | 1 | Corpus iuris civilis (Corpus of Civil Law) | |||

The expressive gestures, the intensity of the figure's gaze extending beyond the confines of the initial, and the schematic rendering of three-dimensional form are characteristic features of the influence of Byzantine artists on Italian illuminators. | Initial L with an unidentified male saint | Parchment | Latin | Italy (northern) | front | 1 | Lewis E M 26:19 | front | cd 5091 2111 7228 | 48-bit color | 600 ppi | 1 | Choir book | ||||||

St. Peter (b. 1206 - April 6, 1252), was a thirteenth-century Dominican preacher and inquisitor. According to his legend, he was attacked by members of the heretical sect known as the Cathars, whom St. Peter had preached vehemently against. His attackers struck him in the head with an axe. When the saint rose up to proclaim 'Credo in Deum' (I believe in God), the first article of faith, his attackers then fatally stabbed him in the heart. In this initial, both wounds are represented. This initial has been attributed to an artist working within the circle of the Venetian illuminator Cristoforo Cortese, active from ca. 1399 to before 1445 when a document refers to him as already dead.

Perhaps it is no coincidence then that the very codex that scholars believe this cutting to have come from was housed in the Sistine Chapel in the Apostolic Palace, the official residence of the pope, and the site of Michelangelo's famous ceiling painted sixty years earlier. The codex, which survives only in fragments, was made for Pope Gregory XIII shortly after his papacy began in 1572. | This cutting has been dated to ca. 1572. | Parchment | Latin | Rome, Italy | Giulio Clovio, or close follower of | Artist | front | 1 | Lewis E M 27:07 | front | cd 5091 2111 7186 | 48-bit color | 600 ppi | 1 | Gospel Lectionary | ||||

Here, Christ holds the reed in his bound hands, and a green crown of thorns causes blood to flow down his face, which can be seen through the diaphanous veil covering his head. This image was meant to inspire compassion for Christ's suffering in the heart of the viewer.

Eusebius (ca. 275 - 339), bishop of Caesarea, is most well known for writing the early history of the Christian Church. Another of his great works is his 'Chronicle,' which claimed to give the whole of universal history to the year 325. The original Greek text did not survive antiquity, but the second part of the Chronicle, entitled the 'Chronological Canons,' was translated into Latin by St. Jerome. This initial E begins the first lines of Jerome's preface to the Chronological Canons, or the 'Chronici canones' as it is known in Latin, 'Eusebius Hieronymus Vicentio et Gallieno suis salutem ...'

He describes himself as a brother of the Order of Monteoliveto, a monastic order formally recognized in 1344. | Parchment | Latin | Milan, Italy | Olivetan Master, collaborator | Artist | front | 1 | Lewis E M 27:25 | front | cd 5091 2111 7191 | 48-bit color | 600 ppi | 1 | Choir book | ||||

Shortly thereafter, Sixtus was executed, and Laurence distributed the wealth among the poor. When the Emperor Valerian commanded Laurence to appear for his execution, the saint was told to bring along the treasure with which the pope had entrusted him. When he arrived, a multitude of Rome's crippled, blind, sick, and indigent came with him. St. Laurence announced that these were the true treasures of the Church. Laurence was executed by being grilled over hot coals; the gridiron is his attribute. | Parchment | Latin | Lombardy, Italy | Rotunda | front | 1 | Lewis E M 28:14 | front | cd 5091 2111 7198 | 48-bit color | 600 ppi | 1 | Antiphonary | |||||

(God, who for the salvation of your faithful, had willed the body of the Blessed Nicholas to be transferred to Bari from Myra). St. Nicholas, whose legendary acts of charity led to his association with the gift-giving Santa Claus, lived in Myra, a town in modern-day Turkey, and died there in 346. His relics remained there until May 9, 1087, when several citizens of the Italian city of Bari took his bodily remains from Myra and brought them to Bari, where they can be found today. For various reasons that legends always purport to arise from divine providence, the bodies and relics of saints could be moved or 'translated' from one site to another. The day of a saint's translation is often celebrated as a feast day in the medieval calendar. The fact that St. Nicholas' translation is given special attention in this fragment may indicate that the original manuscript was intended for use in or around the town of Bari.This leaf and Lewis E M 28:21b are from the same manuscript as Lewis E M 28:22-23. | Parchment | Latin | France or Flanders | Gothic bookhand (textualis libraria under cursive influence) | front 28:21 a | 1 | Lewis E M 28:21-23 | front 28:21 a | cd 5091 2111 7506 | 48-bit color | 600 ppi | 1 | Historiated initial D from a breviary depicting St. Nicholas, Bishop of Myra | |||||

The term 'psalm' derives from the Greek word 'psalmos,' which means 'song sung accompanied by a harp.' This etymology explains the iconography of David playing the harp.

In the late Middle Ages, citizens in Italian cities organized themselves into guilds or confraternities according to various occupations. Membership ensured protection of one's job while alive as well as prayers for the soul after death. A matricola is a matriculation list of its members which also included the guild's statutes or regulations. The reverse of this cutting contains the names of the members at the time of the original manuscript's production as well as later additions in a cursive script. The Archangel Michael treading on the dragon was the symbol of the Porta Sant'Angelo, one of the five gates of medieval Perugia. The illumination has been attributed to Matteo di Ser Cambio, a Perugian artist active towards the end of the fourteenth century. | Parchment | Latin | Perugia, Italy | Matteo di Ser Cambio | Artist | front | 1 | Lewis E M 29:11A | front | cd 5091 2111 6900 | 48-bit color | 600 ppi | 1 | Matricola (Matriculation list) | |||

This psalm was read at Vespers on Sunday. This verse was understood to refer to the Trinity, which explains the iconography. | Parchment | Latin | Hamburg?, Germany | Gothic bookhand | front | 1 | Lewis E M 42:01 | front | cd 5091 2111 6471 | 48-bit color | 600 ppi | 1 | Choir psalter | |||||

| Lewis E M 42:2 | Lewis E M 42.2 | mcai420021 | 1490 | 1510 | 188 x 440 mm | As the iconography of this initial suggests, this initial likely begins Introit for the first Sunday in Advent, 'Ad te levavi animam mean ...' (I left up my soul to you), from Psalm 24:1. The cutting has been pasted to its current mat, however, making it impossible to identify the liturgy precisely.

Similar Crucifixion scenes can be found in missals where they preface the Canon of the Mass, as in Lewis E 161. The image may also have functioned as an independent devotional image to be tacked to a wall, like a panel painting. This practice was fairly common in the late Middle Ages when manuscript illuminators found themselves competing with panel painters in the realm of devotional art. | Parchment | Latin | Austria | front | 1 | Lewis E M 42:03 | front | cd 5091 2111 6472 | 48-bit color | 600 ppi | 1 | Missal | ||||||

(When I was still lying in my mother's womb the Lord sent his summons to me by name).

 Lewis E M 43:3-6 are sister leaves. It appears that each bifolium was removed from the same Bible to be re-used as a folder to hold legal documents. The upside-down inscriptions at the bottoms of this bifolium and its sister leaves, all dating to the sixteenth century, make reference to sales and acquisitions between various parties, indicating that these bifolia might have been recycled and used as folders for holding legal documents. The inscription on this folio makes reference to a sale between the Jesuits of Parma in Italy and Marchesa Cattarina Landa.

It tells the story of the Old Testament heroine Judith, a Jewish widow. This initial depicts the moment when Judith beheads Holofernes, the leader of the Assyrian army. While the Jewish city of Bethulia was under siege, Judith entered the Assyrian camp to seduce Holofernes only to slay him in his sleep. Her bravery inspired the Jews to defend themselves and drive away the Assyrians.

| Lewis E M 43:21 | Lewis E M 43.21 front | mcai430211 | ca. 1510 | 1520 | 264 x 378 mm | This image shows an altar card. Beginning in the sixteenth century, altar cards were placed on the altar during Mass. They contained the prayers that the priest recited during every Mass. Although they functioned primarily as memory aids, they were usually beautifully decorated. This card, which contains the Nicene Creed, was executed by a follower of John Pichore, an illuminator active in Paris at the beginning of the sixteenth century.

The iconography comes from a passage in the book of Revelation, which records St. John the Evangelist's vision of the Apocalypse.

These have one design: and their strength and power they shall deliver to the beast. These shall fight with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, because he is Lord of lords, and King of kings, and they that are with him are called, and elect, and faithful.' The Lamb is symbolic of Christ and the kings can be said to represent the powers of the earthly world.

The illuminator of this initial is a close follower of Francesco di Antonio del Chierico (active c.1452-d.1484), a Florentine illuminator who was a favorite of the Florentine statesman and patron of the arts Lorenzo de' Medici (January 1, 1449 9 April 1492). | Parchment | Latin | Florence, Italy | Rotunda | Francesco d'Antonio del Chierico, follower of | Artist | front | 1 | Lewis E M 46:08 | front | cd 5248 0520 7201 | 48-bit color | 600 ppi | 1 | Gradual | |||

Traditionally, Joseph would only infrequently appear in scenes of the Nativity and the Adoration of the Magi, and when he did, he was often depicted as a crippled old man or sometimes more negatively as an inept buffoon. As devotion in the late Middle Ages became more personal, however, theologians and, later, artists adopted a more positive attitude toward Joseph by giving him a more respectable image as the loving and attentive foster-father. | Parchment | Latin | Italy (northeastern) | front | 1 | Lewis E M 46:16 | front | cd 5248 0520 7207 | 48-bit color | 600 ppi | 1 | Antiphonary | ||||||

(Listen, O my son, to the precepts of thy master, and incline the ear of thy heart). These words are the first of his influential 'Rule,' a set of instructions and teachings on leading the monastic life that became the foundational text of Western monasticism.

The illumination has been attributed to the Sienese painter Pietro di Giovanni d'Ambrogio (or Ambrosi), active in the second quarter of the fifteenth century, or a close follower of his.

(With the whole assembly of Israel present, the young goat shall be slaughtered on the eve of the Passover). The feast of Corpus Christi commemorates the Holy Eucharist in which the sacrifice of Christ is celebrated. The use of Old Testament imagery in this Christian context has a theological explanation. According to the Book of Exodus in the Hebrew Bible and Christian Old Testament, the blood of a sacrificial lamb marked the homes of the Israelites so that the angel sent to slay the first-born sons of the Egyptians (the tenth plague) would pass over their homes. Since early times, Christians saw this event as a prefiguration of Christ's death in which he became the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation of mankind. | Parchment | Latin | Italy (northern) | Rotunda | front | 1 | Lewis E M 48:06 | front | cd 5248 0520 3354 | 48-bit color | 600 ppi | 1 | Antiphonary | |||||

This initial includes only Christ but the two Dominican friars represent St. Dominic, on the right, and the Brescian friar, on the left.

(Lord, I will sing to you a new song). According to tradition, David, the biblical king of Israel, composed the psalms. Hence, David is often shown playing a harp or psaltery according to his role as the author of these sung prayers.

(If we have received good things), which was sung during remaining Sundays in October and November. Much of late medieval devotion centered on prayers to the Virgin to intercede on one's behalf with her son Jesus Christ. Her special relationship with Christ led, in large part, the extreme popularity of the cult of the Virgin in the late Middle Ages.

Decretals are collections of papal statements regarding canon law, or the ecclesiastical law of the Catholic Church. In 1230, Pope Gregory commissioned the Dominican friar Raymond of Pennafort to compile a new collection that would gather together and streamline earlier decretals. Gregory's Decretals supplanted the earlier ones and became the basis for all subsequent canon law. The initial marks the beginning of Book V, on Accusations, Inquisitions and Denouncements. | Parchment | Latin | France | Gothic bookhand | Gregory IX | Author | front | 1 | Lewis E M 66:17 | front | cd 5248 0520 5343 | 48-bit color | 400 ppi | 1 | Decretals | |||

Christ's book proclaims, 'Ego sum lux mundi, qui sequitur' (I am the light of the world, he that followeth [me]; John 8:12).

Isaiah is shown twice in the two roundels on the left holding scrolls with the inscriptions 'Ecce uirgo co[n]cipiet et pariet' (Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear [a son]'; Isaiah 7:14) and, below, 'Egredietur uirga de radice...'

(The Lord, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers Peter and Andrew). The Gospels of Matthew and Mark record that Christ came upon two fishermen in a boat on the Sea of Galilee, the brothers Peter and Andrew whom he called to be his disciples. The Gospel of John tells the story differently. It is Andrew, one of two disciples of John the Baptist, who sees Christ first and then runs to tell his brother Peter (John 1:39-41). The iconography of this initial combines the two different accounts: Andrew and Peter are fisherman, but it is Andrew who recognizes Christ first while Peter has his back turned. | Parchment | Latin | Perugia, Italy | Rotunda | front 73:1 | 1 | Lewis E M 73:01-04 | front 73:1 | cd 6243 2112 2345 | 48-bit color | 400 ppi | 1 | Gradual | |||||

Taking advantage of the roundels created in the decorative foliage, the illuminator has placed the Archangel Gabriel in one of the roundels below the Virgin, thereby giving greater emphasis to her presence in this scene of the Annunciation. Along the lower margin in a much later hand is notation for additional feast days, listing what appears to be the folio numbers followed by the liturgical contents.

Yet, its incomplete state allows us to see the steps of illumination midway through the process. After a leaf was ruled to determine the number of lines of text and decoration, the scribe wrote in the text leaving the areas of decoration blank. The leaf was then handed over to an illuminator who would draw in the outlines of the decoration with a stylus or a lead stick, similar to a pencil. The gold leaf would have been added next before the initial was painted in with various colors. For an unknown reason, our illuminator abandoned his work after completing the underdrawing. | Parchment | Latin | Florence?, Italy | Rotunda | front | 1 | Lewis E M 74:14 | front | cd 6243 2112 6737 | 48-bit color | 400 ppi | 1 | Antiphonary | |||||

(The crucified one rose on the third day). It is followed by the first words of Psalms 109-112, which were recited on Sundays at Vespers. The elaborate border contains several miniatures embedded within the frame. In the lower border, the central miniature contains the figures of St. Zenobius, the first bishop of Florence, and his two deacons, Sts. Eugenius and Crescentius. They are flanked by two unidentified martyr saints, who hold palm branches. A roundel in the right border contains four virgin martyr saints, also holding palm branches. A curious scene in the upper border depicts three ducks wading in a pond. The Classical decorative motifs throughout the border are commonly found in Renaissance illumination. | Parchment | Latin | Florence, Italy | Rotunda | front | 1 | Lewis E M 74:16 | front | cd 6243 2112 6737 | 48-bit color | 400 ppi | 1 | Antiphonary | |||||

The scene shows St. Augustine giving his Rule to a group of Domincan friars. His Rule was intended for the Augustinian Order, but the Dominicans adopted it as well following the example of their founder St. Dominic who began his religious life as an Augustinian. This cutting has been attributed to the Sienese illuminator Pietro di Giovanni d'Ambrogio, active from 1428, when he entered the Sienese painter's guild, to his death in 1449. | Parchment | Latin | Siena, Italy | Rotunda | Pietro di Giovanni d'Ambrogio, follower of | Artist | front | 1 | Lewis E M 74:17 | front | cd 6243 2112 6740 | 48-bit color | 400 ppi | 1 | Undetermined | |||

(Thus says the Lord: My words ...). This initial has been attributed to the Sienese illuminator Pellegrino di Mariano Rossini, who was active in the last half of the fifteenth century. Pellegrino was a younger contemporary of Sano di Pietro, whose influence can be seen in this initial. The border decoration is similar but inferior to several cuttings in the Free Library's collection attributed to Sano (see, for example, Lewis E M 22:2-4). | Parchment | Latin | Siena, Italy | Rotunda | Pellegrino di Mariano Rossini, attributed to | Artist | front | 1 | Lewis E M 74:18 | front | cd 6243 2112 6741 | 48-bit color | 400 ppi | 1 | Antiphonary | |||

| Lewis E M 76:29A | Lewis E M 76.29A | mcai760295 | 1450 | 1475 | 300 x 380 mm | Border decoration | Sano di Pietro (1405-1481), the illuminator of this inhabited border, was one of the most prolific artists working in Siena during the fifteenth century. Many of Sano's commissions came from religious communities, for whom he produced not only illuminated manuscripts but also a number of altarpieces. This cutting belongs to a group of other cuttings in the Free Library from the same choir book or at least the same set of choir books. These are: Lewis E M 22:7-16, E M 22:18-21, E M 23:1-6, E M 25:1-3, and E M 76:29a. Although there is scant textual evidence to determine the type of choir book from which these cuttings were taken, similarities in the style of decoration, the color palette, and dimensions in the height of the staves on the reverse allow them to be grouped together. | This cutting can be dated to ca. 1470. | Parchment | Latin | Siena, Italy | Sano di Pietro | Artist | front | 1 | Lewis E M 76:29A | front | cd 6243 2112 6282 | 48-bit color | 400 ppi | 1 | Choir book | ||||

| Lewis T177 | Lewis T177 reverse | mcat061772 | Part of the binding materials used for this book was a page from Orlando Lasso's Cantiones aliquot quinque vocum (printed by Adam Berg in Munich in 1569). A fragment can be seen in this image. A comparison with a facsimile in Peter Bergqusit's edition of the Berg print (in: Recent Researches in the Music of the Renaissance, 112 [Madison: AR Editions, 1998], plate 3, following p. xxxii) strengthens the argument for this book as the source for this isolated page, as does the fact that the work appears as no. 14 in Bergquist's edition of the Berg print--i.e., it's the same number that appears on this page.

| Lewis T41 | Lewis T41 front a | mcat100411 | 1100 | 1199 | The initial M on the top fragment begins the antiphon benediction for Lauds on the 22nd Sunday after Pentecost, Magister, scimus quia verax es et viam dei in veritate doces (Master, we know that You speak the truth and teach the way of God in all sincerity).
 There are two staff lines used in this chant: the obvious one is red, the yellow one is barely visible. The red line is the F line and the yellow line is the A line. These two leaves are not sequential: the top leaf has several selections from the Book of Matthew that are usually used during the 21st to 24th Sunday after Pentecost; the bottom leaf quotes Jeremiah 31:12 and Psalm 4.
 The notation is very similar to Beneventan chant; however, Beneventan chant is accompanied by an entirely different script from the one seen in these leaves. Extant examples of Beneventan chant are also extremely rare, hence it is unlikely that these leaves are from a Beneventan monastery.

| Lewis T85 | Lewis T85 front | mcat100851 | 950 | 1050 | The ancient Greeks had developed a system of musical notation that differentiated between instrumental and sung music, and even indicated rhythmic value. The practice of writing music, as well as the practice of many arts, vanished after the fall of Rome.
 
 Charlemagne, the first Holy Roman emperor (742–814) restored learning and education to the Western world and the empire over which he reigned. He implemented a standardization of written text and music throughout his empire, which extended through much of modern-day Western and Central Europe. The emperor employed Alcuin, a scholar from England, to run a school and scriptorium in Aix-la-Chapelle, Charlemagnes favored residence. The resulting, highly legible script was Caroline minuscule. A musical notation was developed, too, in the form of the so-called St. Gall notation, named after the abbey in St. Gall, modern-day Switzerland.
 
 This leaf is written in Caroline minuscule, with unheightened or nondiastematic neumes. Neumes are the earliest notes used in plainchant, which is the monophonic unison chant of the Christian liturgies. Early on, they were squiggles and dots, like the ones displayed here. These neumes do not show the relative pitch between notes, and there is no indicated base pitch. None of these were necessary to the singer, however; the notation served as a reminder of the relative pitches to singers who would already have been familiar with the melody.
 
 The text is 2 Corinthians 6:1-10, Exhortamur (vos) ne in vacuum gratiam Dei recipiatis. . . (We exhort you that you receive not the grace of God in vain), which is the Epistle of the Mass for the First Sunday in Lent. It is followed by Psalm 90, which is sung as the Gradual of the Mass: Angelis suis mandavit de te ut custodiant te in omnibus viis tuis. . . (God has given His Angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways).

| Lewis T325 | Lewis T325 front | mcat123251 | ca. 1420 | Te deum is the verso, ‘contratenor the recto.
 The pencil annotation should be corrected to: English origin, 1420s.
 Upper half leaf from an English choirbook probably of the 1420s. Overall height of the half-leaf is 23.4, width 32.2 cm. Red staves ruled with a 15mm rastrum. Stave length on verso 210mm, on recto 211mm. Text in a good liturgical gothic.
 Recto: Complete contratenor part of an Agnus dei on 7 staves. Red text for Agnus 2 probably indicates that it was set as a duet, the Contratenor here serving for that section as the tenor part. This side lacks a capital letter and also lacks the yellow wash used on the verso. Mensurations [O] C O, with void semiminims and red imperfection coloration. Stems of another part (either a tenor with significant minim movement or a different piece) are visible from the missing 8th stave.
 Verso: First seven staves of the top part of a setting of the Te deum, with red capital T (not indented). Plainsong intonation in red, and chant paraphrase continued in this part. Unsigned tempus perfectum with red imperfection coloration which, on this side of the leaf seems to be partly entered over black or back void notes.
 No concordances are so far identified. The script shows some variation, and in general appearance the fragment is not unlike the main hand of the lost royal choirbook partially reassembled by Margaret Bent (The Progeny of Old Hall: More Leaves from a Royal English Choirbook, Gordon Athol Anderson (1929-1981) in Memoriam. Musicological Studies 49, vol. 1, 1-54. 2 vols. Henryville, Ottawa, and Binningen: Institute of Mediaeval Music, 1984). However, there is not yet sufficiently strong reason to add this leaf to that collection.
 Our thanks to Dr. Margaret Bent of All Souls College, Oxford for the information on this leaf. | Parchment | Latin | England | Gothic bookhand | front | 1 | Lewis T325 | front | MSS 0036 | Gradual: Hymn, "Te deum laudamus, Agnus dei" | ||||||||||

 This leaf is an example of music from the Exultet or Easter Proclamation: Flammas eius Lucifer matutinus inveniat, ille inquam, lucifer, qui nescit occasum (May the morning-star find its flame alight, that Morning-Star which knows no setting...). The Proclamation would be intoned during the Easter Vigil, or the night before Easter Sunday.
 Missals were usually in two-column format: most missals did not contain music. This leaf has been simply rubricated (initials drawn in blue and red ink for delineation and ease of reading). Additionally, it is clear that there are many erasures and rewritings of the music in this leaf. Erasing parchment involved scraping the page (which is animal skin) with pumice or other scraping tools. It is possible or even probable that the leaf was meant to be decorated in the borders and that it was never completed. This leaf and the other leaf in this case are wonderful artifacts that allow us to see some of the stages of manuscript preparation from the Middle Ages. | Parchment | Latin | Flanders | Gothic bookhand | front | 2 | Lewis T637 | front | MSS 0058 | Exultet--music manuscript | |||||||||

 Philadelphia Free Library, Lewis T658 (olim Lewis 489b)
 
 Incomplete parchment bifolio from the Credo section of a manuscript of English polyphonic music, probably from the 1420s. Each of the four pages presents, anonymously, part of a different Credo, which means that neither side of the bifolio was originally a centre gathering. Spacing suggests pages were ruled with 12 red staves (of which only the upper 7 survive), allowing each Credo to occupy a single opening, as in Old Hall (Lbl 57950). Two of the Credos have concordances with known compositions, supplying attributions: one to Dunstaple, the other to 'Anglicanus'. (These were identified by Peter Wright. See now EECM 55, nos 16, 45, 46). The numbering of the folios (A as the wider leaf and B the smaller) is provisional, as it is not entirely clear which way the bifolio was originally folded. All four pieces are in full black notation with red coloration.
 
 f. Ar Anglicanus, Credo Alma redemptoris mater (= Curtis & Wathey, Credo 70: Tr92-1, 113v-114). Second cantus part, starting at Et in spiritum (telescoped text in both sources), with 2-stave indentation for initial E, not provided. In imperfect time, major prolation, changing to minor prolation at Et unam.
 
 f. Av Dunstaple, Credo, upper part (= Curtis & Wathey, Credo 55, = Ao 15, 135v-138). Published in John Dunstable: Complete Works, ed. Manfred F. Bukofzer; 2nd, rev. ed. Margaret Bent, Ian Bent and Brian Trowell. Musica Britannica, vol. 8. (London, 1970), no. 5. Text differently distributed. First section to facta sunt, in imperfect time, minor prolation. From Et incarnatus, the English source notates in imperfect time, minor prolation, from Qui propter, Aosta notates in perfect time minor prolation, in augmented values with Ø. Identified by Peter Wright.
 
 f. Br Credo, hitherto unidentified. Second cantus part, texted, in imperfect time, major prolation, with 2-stave indentation for initial P, not provided.
 
 f. Bv Credo, hitherto unidentified. Upper part, in imperfect time, major prolation.
